Arizona saw the launch of a new US-based waterpark in June 2009 with a range of WhiteWater West’s signature attractions.
Wet 'n' Wild Phoenix spans 35 acres at the Adobe Dam Regional Park and has a number of WhiteWater West's signature attractions, including North America's first Family Boomerango.
Winner of the 2008 IAAPA Best Product Award, this six-person ride fires riders vertically up a wall, before falling back, passing over a transition hump and into a splashdown pool below.
There are also two-seater duelling Master Blaster uphill water coasters, featuring parallel slide paths that are the full length of the ride, with gravity-defying drops and curves. The eight-lane Whizzard sends riders through enclosed serpentine AquaTubes, before they race side by side in a multi-lane configuration.

|
Long known for its fancy casinos, Macau realized within the past decade that it must
diversify its tourism scene to attract new crowds. With the ambition of becoming the
leisure hub of China’s 72-million strong Greater Bay Area, the city began adding shows,
attractions, and family-friendly hotels. But the offering that truly stands out with fun
for everyone is Studio City Water Park – Macau’s first stand-alone water park, with all
the water slides and aquatic play structures supplied by WhiteWater. |
